Article about a journalist, not properly referenced as having a strong claim to passing notability criteria for journalists. As always, journalists are not automatically entitled to have Wikipedia articles just because their work exists, and have to be shown to have WP:GNG-worthy coverage and analysis about them in third-party sources independent of themselves -- but six of the seven footnotes here are primary sources (e.g. staff profiles and press releases self-published by her own employers or other organizations that aren't media outlets, content on the self-published website of one of her personal colleagues) that aren't support for notability at all, and there's only one piece of GNG-worthy piece of coverage about her being shown, which isn't enough. Even the Sidney Award is not an instant notability lock in and of itself: it would be a valid notability claim in an article that was sourced properly, but is in no way "inherently" notable enough to override a lack of GNG-worthy sourcing.

 * Delete. The award is a monthly award, a $500 gift and a cartoon drawn by the New Yorker guy. Seems orders of magnitude less than Pulitzer, they give out at least 12 a year... Rest is confirmation that she works in her field, that's all I find. Oaktree b (talk) 19:33, 3 September 2023 (UTC)


 * Delete. This article looks to be one among a larger batch created by the same ed over the last few days for journalists who have won this Sydney Award. The award itself was recently judged as not notable and its article is awaiting being folded into the article on the foundation that sponsors it. May want to consider those other journalists for AfD, as well. 128.252.210.1 (talk) 17:20, 5 September 2023 (UTC)
